And it only takes an ounce more wisdom to recall this phrase: "Money can't buy happiness, but it helps."

Money can’t buy happiness, but being broke will certainly make you unhappy

Money buys you Freedom. A much more general category theory type framing.

Money fills your Maslow. After that, you are responsible for your happiness. And there sure are a lot of rich people who aren't very happy.

Or as Daniel Tosh put it:

"It buys a WaveRunner. You ever seen a sad person on a WaveRunner?"
